What’s Your Holiday Style?

What do the holidays mean to you? Are you an all-in celebrator who loves hosting parties and exchanging gifts? Or do you prefer a quiet holiday around the fire surrounded by close family and a hot cocoa. Or maybe you choose not to celebrate at all and find December to be a month just like any other.

Our December issue will meet the needs of all holiday styles. Find yours below and reference the articles that will fill your emotional cocoa cup this month.

Christmas is for Kids (& Adults) – Do you still act like an excited kid on Christmas morning? Then this is your category! You’ll love the simple pleasures like making snow angels and cutting out snowflakes that you’ll find from London French Day Care on page 5!

Family Makes Me Grinchy – If working out family challenges is high on your list, this is your category! Find realistic tips for making the holidays run smoothly (even if you’re co-parenting) on page 20.

Gift-Giver Extraordinaire – If you shower those you love with presents, but the budget’s as tight as Santa’s belt this year, you belong here! We love the “Want, Need, Wear, Read” gift plan you’ll find on page 11.

No Thank You to Celebrations – There are many reasons some do not choose to celebrate this month, and that is totally okay by us! So if you just want some general information amongst the clanging of jingle bells, we’ve got you. Find out about fall prevention for young children (page 6) and choosing a new veterinarian (page 22).

Season’s Greetings & Holiday Eating – Is Hanukkah or Kwanzaa all about the eats and sweets? Then you’ll find your people here! We all love the decadent food that the holidays bring, but you can learn some easy tricks to avoid total over-indulgence on page 14. 

The Traditionalist – If you’re all about holiday traditions that should never be broken, then you’re in the right place! Father Christmas (a.k.a. Dad, Frank Emanuele) holds our hand through giving your kids the talk – the Santa talk, that is (page 12). This means that traditions might need to change slightly, but only for the better, we promise!

Warm wishes for a merry December,

Sabina
